These are the crispiest air fryer carrot fries! Made with just five ingredients in under 20 minutes, they’re the perfect healthier side dish—crispy, crunchy, and so delicious.

Ingredients
- 3 large carrots cut into sticks (LOOK AT PICTURES)
- 1-2 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon nutritional yeast optional
- salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or tapioca flour or arrowroot starch
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss the carrot sticks with oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, nutritional yeast (if using), and salt.
- Add the cornstarch and toss again until the carrots are evenly coated.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and lightly spray the basket with avocado oil.
- Place the carrot sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes. NO OVERLAPPING! Shake the basket or flip the fries halfway through.
- Air fry for an additional 5 minutes to crisp them up. If they’re not crispy enough, continue cooking in 5-minute intervals, checking frequently. (Note: Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer.)
- Let the fries cool for a few minutes before serving. I love this healthy ranch dip. Enjoy!
Notes
- Storing: They are best enjoyed immediately! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them back in the air fryer for a few minutes to crisp them up again.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Basket: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket for the crispiest fries. If needed, cook in batches to ensure the carrots get that perfect crisp.
- Use Cornstarch: Cornstarch is key to getting those crispy edges. Don’t skip it! If you don’t have cornstarch, tapioca flour or arrowroot starch works well too.
- Customize Them: Try adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or a drizzle of balsamic glaze after the fries are cooked for a fun twist!
- Oil-Free Option: You can skip the oil for a lower-fat, lower-calorie version. However, make sure to use avocado oil or olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the air fryer.
- Baking Instead: You can bake them at 425°F for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. While they may not be as crispy as in the air fryer, they’ll still be delicious!
